Letter of the Federal Tax Service No. 09-1-03/3103 of June 16, 2006 <br>
The actual legislation does not have an efficient instrument to combat creation of nominal legal entities ("fly-by-night companies"). Therefore, the tax bodies send at their own initiative to other agencies, the Bank of Russia and commercial banks the lists of addresses of multiple registrations and the lists of persons with multiple registrations of enterprises to provide access to information significant for the determination of the risks of participation of organisations possessing nominal addresses and applicants in illegal schemes.
Nevertheless, the Federal Tax Service of Russia does not inspire to use the mentioned information as an absolute duty of the banks or as a single and sufficient reason to refuse to open an account to the potential client. It is expedient to use the lists of addresses of multiple registrations and the lists of multiple applicants in combination with other sources of information permitting credit organisations to combat legalisation (laundering) of incomes obtained in a criminal way and financing of terrorism.
